# Compute Resource Policy

A Compute Resource Policy in Google Cloud is a configuration that defines rules for managing compute resources such as VM instances and disks. It allows you to automate tasks like snapshot schedules, disk replication, and instance placement policies. By applying a resource policy, you can ensure consistent management of resources, improve availability, and simplify operational tasks.

```
gcp.compute_resource_policy
```
